Aaaaaaaah.
So, generation the fourth is just a study into the properties of a well-done fiction, then?
That's explanation enough for me.

Season 3 of MLP:FiM starts sometime soon. We have not been given a definite release date, but it's coming. After the opener is aired I can say with a great degree of certainty that there WILL be a fanfiction explosion, especially with the comics coming out in November. People, keep an eye out for sporkable badfic on all possible sources, maintain a watch on known and repeated badficcers, and write goodfi...il your hands cramp. I don't have permission yet, so I rely on others who work the continuum to make fun of badfi...il I can come in and spork.
Also, Glyph, Iron Gall, if you can see this, please update the OFU. I'm dying for a new chapter of that. Burnsie, Kit, if you see this... Work on OFUR? Please? I know you guys have life to attend to, because so do I. But please, try and find time. Even updating once in a month...
I know I haven't been on the Board in a while, but I'll be trying to hang out here more- get known, you know? Well, happy sporkings! -

Nine more days before I can apply for Permission - two weeks before I actually do, unless the explosion becomes horrific and pushes me to action sooner.
And yes, I am really counting days. I feel the ITCH. -

I've never been a real hearty gung-ho fan of My Little Pony, so I'm still trying to figure out how it exploded back into popularity.
But my poor Fanfuction.net browsing days will be filled to the brim with MLP, I'm sure. Not necessarily because I want them to, but because I won't be able to get away from it. -

The third generation of "My Little Pony" was poorly done. The characterization was shallow, the episodes didn't have any good plots, and the animation was so cutesy that it was hard to look at.
Lauren Faust, the lady who created the current generation of MLP, noticed this. She had grown up with and enjoyed the first generation of MLP and didn't like what G3 was doing. When she started her work of G4, she focused on such things as good characterization and good writing. She also designed the show so that older people could watch the show without feeling nauseated. Ms. Faust also made the show funny, which helps a lot.
That's about as best I can explain it. -

I protest! There wasn't characterization to be made shallow, my friend!
Lauren Faust also did Codename: Kids Next Door, the Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and a variety of other excellent work I can't recall off the top of my head. -

I thought I'd heard madam Faust's name before...
